Description: A new version of my "System" theme series, previously available for Windows XP (see http://andymorum.deviantart.com for those).
Please note, this Metacity theme adapts to your current GTK2 theme colours.
Hope you enjoy it
Andy.
ps. this is my first ever Metacity theme so go easy! Last changelog:
added light mouseover effects on the close/min/max buttons added drop shadows / indenting to titlebar text Thanks to Le Roux Bodenstein for the ideas with the theme!
hi, i liked your theme. but i want to remove the light mouseover effects on the close/min/max buttons.
so, wich lines at the metacity file i have to comment out or change?
best regards
First of all, thanks for a nice, sleek theme. I'm new to linux and I'm still getting the of this gtk/metacity thing. How do I get that bright blue titlebar in the screenshot?
Yes, it's very possible :) Extract the files from the tar.gz and look inside the xml file. Replace things like 'gtk:fg[SELECTED]' (which would pull the foreground colour from the current GTK theme) with a colour value (like the ones used in HTML eg #00FF00).
I found this link very useful:

What is the gtk theme btw? The grip in the bottom-right corner looks good.
Nice, crisp and lightning fast.
Hello, Is it possible to choose manually the theme color ? What file should I modify ? Thanks.

Thanks a lot !
they look very good, professional, clean and smart. i think 80% approval by the community says more than 1000 words. :)
Ditto very nice
So nice, nicer to see a windows user/theme maker turning to the Linux world.
